Reviews

Jeff is an anchor tenant on my dream team. In fact he’s the first member of it! I’ve worked with him as my attorney (and friend) for over 12 years now since launching my company. He understands the space I operate within well (digital music/media/entertainment), so we speak the same language which makes life much easier! He’s extremely reliable, creative, thorough and trustworthy. And he’s got a wonderful personality which makes it a joy to work with him — even when (especially when!) dealing with challenging matters. I can’t recommend Jeff highly enough to anyone who seeks knowledgeable legal counsel in the digital media and entertainment space. He knows all the ins and outs required to succeed in this space, and he’s truly a dream to work with. I refer him to others regularly.

The world’s full of people who will tell you “No! That’s impossible.” Jeff is one of those guys who says, “Yes! We can do that. And here’s how we start…” Jeff helped me take my idea from concept to a marketable state. He provides never-ending encouragement & support. He’s realistic without being pessimistic, but never varnishes the truth. My most trusted advisor!

Jeffrey is an incisive and intelligent attorney and businessman, with wide-ranging knowledge of many areas of business besides the film industry. I am fortunate that I have Jeffrey’s counsel, as I trust his instincts and his wisdom to guide me in many different kinds of matters.

I’ve worked with Jeffrey on many occasions over a period of more than 20 years. He’s terrific. Extremely knowledgeable, professional, personable, honest, and efficient. I wouldn’t hesitate to give him my highest and most resounding recommendations and endorsement.

Jeff is an aggressive litigator that maintains a sense of reason. (Reason is too often forgotten by many aggressive litigators.) Jeff was of excellent assistance in an appeal I handled for one of his clients, and he did a great job on the appeal he handled for her.

Jeff did some work for me and always found a great solution that made everyone win. He’s very fast, informed, flexible and digital – a real pleasure to work with. Consider yourself lucky to work with him.

Jeffrey has served on a few panels for the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, San Francisco/Northern California Chapter (www.emmysf.tv), he spoke on copyright law and intellectual property law when it comes to having content on websites, etc. He donated his services to us which we greatly appreciate. I highly recommend him!
